Sunday Drive...In KiffieScope(TM)
Mar. 8th, 2009 04:15 pmSo the last few weeks, I've noticed that the movies 1941 and The Big Red One had been available on DVD in the bargain bin at certain Big Lots stores. Finally got paid on Friday from my photo album-counting job, so I began looking for them. Tried Jeff City's on Friday night--sold out. Tried Morristown's yesterday--all gone, but I did get Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles and Galaxy Railways #1. So today...
ME: Sevierville!
MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yeah! Vrum!
No dice there.
ME: So...Chapman Highway/Seymour!
MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yeah! Vrum!
Nada.
ME: Grr...
MOONSHINE: Ut oh.
ME: Broadway/Fountain City!
MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yeah! Vrum!
Still no sign of 1941 nor Big Red One.
ME: What a load of--
MOONSHINE: Don't say that, this is a family blog!
ME: *sigh* I'll visit Turkey Creek on Tuesday and the Farragut Big Lots, no point going that way today. Wait, is there a Best Buy on Washington Pike? Perhaps I should reconnoiter.
MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yeah! Vrum!
And so...
ME: Drat. No Best Buy, only an already kaput Circuit City. I guess we'll take WashPike further east.
MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yeah! Vrum!
Soon...
ME: Hang on, are we going EAST or NORTH?
MOONSHINE: Vrum vrum vrum vrum...
A little later...
MOONSHINE: Vrum vrum vrum vrum...
ME: Are we still in Knox County?
MOONSHINE: Vrum vrum vrum vrum...
Later still...
SIGN: Now Entering Grainger County!
ME: Better take this road here.
MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yeah! Vrum!
And then--
SIGN: Welcome to Blaine. Junction Highway 11W.
ME: Should I go SOUTH back to Knoxville or EAST to Rutledge? *casts Newtype senses...gets answer from the Great Beyond* Rutledge it is.
MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yeah! Vrum!
From Rutledge we take Route 92 SOUTH...
RADIO: ...and I'm Flirtin' With Disaster!
ME: How come that song always plays when I'm in this part of the state?
MOONSHINE: Skateboard chute! Whee! Vrum!
And we finally get out of that corkscrew of a road and back to Jeff County/Jeff City.
I pull back into the carport empty handed.
MOONSHINE: Let's do that again later!
ME: I'm taking tomorrow off.
ME: Sevierville!
MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yeah! Vrum!
No dice there.
ME: So...Chapman Highway/Seymour!
MOONSHINE: Adventure! Yeah! Vrum!
